Hi James! Good to hear from you! Well, no – Furlong Road is not food hot, really. The little strip that houses the above cafe has a couple of Viet/Chinese places where you can get banh mi and bain marie stuff. Further up, in Cairnlea, there’s definitely some good food to be had at Cairnlea Shopping Centre – including a very good, new Viet/Chinese place.

All well Ahmed but I don’t appreciate their cover of west when only it suits them,there are many Griffith alike up here with little attention,not taking away anything from Mr Griffith,they are awesome joint

Ha! Berskshire Rd also very sleepy these days since La Morenita moved. We love their place in Deer Park! Ballarat Rd itself comes and goes. Burgernomics is good, though afaik both Curry Leaves and West of Kin have closed.

Yeah, but it was very small. We don’t mind heading to Deer Park – better parking, too, and meals proper rather than just them great sandwiches. And the more CTS’ inner west readers resist interest in the outer west, the more and more I will feel duty bound to keep covering it!

Like many of your readers commented earlier,here how I see,we open food columns& read outside west activity,now & then the Somali eats or the premises or even the Latin may appear on their short list column which really very unfortunate.The parking,food & people of the west is wonderful.makes me support west more with their actions!

Hi Kenny,yes hem27 is really good,didn’t they won the best cheap eats in 2017 ,the Age good food guide awards!it’s more than just cheap,but these media has many presumption about west needed to be clear again.

James if I don’t want be around Bush about it,most of the Age’swork relating to the west are followed staf from consider the sauce,if u pay close attention it’s all clear,but biggest concern is their lack of interest of minority cuisine,it’s too giant to be fixed this problem&it’s problem that comes up to the service in multicultural west regularly

Hussen we recently moved to Flemington,Vietnamese,Malaysian,Somali any many more are all in our doorstep and love it.they missed a lot not us if they show no interest on these cuisine hussen.It’s eye opening for me,as I lived Fitzroy many years!

James this” I care about Victoria’s diverse eateries but I minority cuisines are not too cool” doesn’t wish-wash with hussen,they can tell this beautiful rehearsed phrase to unlearned masses of this matter
